If one game has withstood the test of time, it’s Fortnite. Having entered the gaming space being dubbed as a rushed copy of PUBG, Fortnite has worked on itself from the ground up to establish its presence as a unique, mammoth-sized multiplayer game. The biggest surprise of all is that it’s free to play. You could download the game right now and get to experience all that it is known for. So what makes it tick? How does it generate enough revenue to sustain its global presence? And how unique is it when compared to the likes of PUBG, Free Fire, and COD?
We’re going to get into all of this and we’re sure that by the time we’re done praising Fortnite, you’ll be more than ready to get access to a digital copy exclusively for yourself. Before you do all that though, consider setting yourself up with Xfinity to enjoy low-latency, lag-free online gaming. Even in case you run into any connectivity issue, Xfinity customer service will have you covered. It would probably be resolved in a jiffy. Anyways, back to the game. We want you to get your sweats on, explore and dominate the Fortnite space all with the comfort of an internet that lets you do this with everything going your way. Speed and accessibility wise.
So, without further ado, let’s check out Fortnite’s jazzed-up internals!
Star Studded Gaming
One of Fortnite’s major quirks is that it ropes in celebrities, singers, and artists to perform or present a 3D model of themselves that users may purchase from the store. With fans having their role models be purchasable as skins in the game, there is a bizarre amount of cash flow that comes in through microtransactions. Because why not? The people love looking like their favorite characters/actors.
There’s also a huge amount of concerts and shows presented live in-game for gamers who’d want to participate in them. Travis Scott, for example, an American rapper, had an in-game concert that blew up pretty quickly. Gamers from all around the world attended it in an attempt to experience his unique energy live. Even if it was just in the game.
It Stays Free to Play
Even though there is a mode of Fortnite called Save the World that demands a $15 payment upfront before players can dive into the story, the amount of overall player traffic that this mode generates is minuscule when compared to the multiplayer. You don’t get many triple A titles these days that are as generous as Epic’s Fortnite to let everyone, and we mean everyone, play their game at no extra cost. Microtransactions are a completely different, voluntary thing.
Regular Updates
Epic stays loyal to its gamers by supplying fresh updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Said updates include but are not limited to, quality of life updates, guns, vehicles, characters, and emotes. There’s a lot more and to try and encompass all that Fortnite is known for would exhaust your eyes to read in a single day. Regardless, Fortnite’s updates come in all sorts of sizes but the biggest ones are undoubtedly when a new season has to launch. Every three or four months a new season, with a completely new theme, is introduced which brings along with it a new battle pass adorned with a variety of goodies.
Age Friendly Goodness
Fortnite is free to play and age-friendly as well! The devs at Epic are dedicated to providing a safe experience for every player out there. That means whether you’re someone entering their 50s or a tween who just turned 15, Fortnite will be a safe space for you regardless. For players more on the young end of the game, there are some neat story missions in place to enjoy a lighter-sided gaming experience. Taking in the sights, catching fish, going for a race with a friend around the racetrack, or making friends with a dino. As we said, there’s lots to do.
For those in it strictly to climb the competitive ladder, there’s a lot to keep them engaged as well. Fortnite provides many terrains, tools, weapons, and tricks to help you outsmart your opponents, inching yourself closer to victory with each elimination. All the game demands from the player is for them to get crafty.
Active, Bubbling Community
Online spaces are strife with Fortnite enthusiasts. Players from all over the world join one another in ranting about their near victories, sharing the joy of their crown victories, and showing off to each other their collection of skins. The best thing about Fortnite’s communities, whether they’re on Reddit, Facebook, or Instagram, is that they’re all supportive of the players and go out of their way to help players with their respective queries
Conclusion
That’s a wrap for Fortnite’s dominance and what it does to achieve it time and time again each year. The game is alive with chunks of real-world collectibles and it remains to be seen how much farther Fortnite can go. So far though, the game shows no signs of slowing down. So hop aboard the big blue battle bus and join us as we fight, slide, drive, and gun for a sweet Victory Rolaye!
